Although to the present day we are not aware of any detection of PBHs there are a set of observational constraints limiting the possible number density allowed for them at different mass ranges. In this work we present a code (one version written in Wolfram Mathematica and another one in Python) which aims to implement known observational constraints on the number density of PBHs. The code is written in a simple and flexible way, allowing the introduction of new constraints as well as the update/refinement of existing ones.
